JUNG played serious, debonair characters such as a doctor in <The Ring Virus>, a prosecutor in <Guns and Talks> and a general in <Once Upon a Time in a Battlefield>. But he did not blindly consume his intellectual image. JUNG has added a comical and accident-prone personality to a seemingly serious character and brought out a caring person from a cold-hearted facade. He gained his reputation for his role in the melodrama movie, <A Promise>, co-starring with PARK Shin-yang and JEON Do-youn. He proved himself as a character actor portraying a gangster loyal to his boss and etched a new high of his career by delivering excellent performance as General KIM Yoo-shin in <Once Upon a Time in a Battlefield> and a king in <King and the Clown>. As he made appearances in all of director LEE Joon-ik’s movies, JUNG is known as director LEE’s on-screen alter-ego. He has worked with director LEE Joon-ik by starring in <The Happy Life> , soul-searching journey of the 40-somethings, <Sunny>, a story of army entertainers during the Vietnam War, and <Battlefield Heroes>, a sequel to <Once Upon a Time in a Battlefield>. Continuing to play on his authoritative but trustworthy characters, JUNG played the sympathetic prison warden in the 2013 hit <Miracle in Cell No. 7> and a journalist who rediscovers his moral turpitude in <Tabloid Truth> a year later. He also had a small role as a judge in the controversial <Another Family>. Less
